Guest - I can't wait for those chapters either it's why I'm posting so frequently because I'm so impatient that I want you to all to know the secrets! Also, the first AU chapter will be between chapter fifty and chapter fifty-two! The rest of the AU will be incorporated throughout season three.
Guest - I love this Damon as well! Don't worry though anyone else who is worried Damon is too cheesy, he'll still be written as his snarky, impulsive, sarcastic self but I wanted him to be more mature and honest when it comes to his feelings regarding Klary, because if you can't tell, Klary is very much straight-forward in her feelings and Damon understands that.
PLAN B
Damon had somehow convinced me to let him stay over last night after our talk and right now I was laying next to him in bed as I woke up before him. I can't help but smile at his gentle features, however, this is short lived as he speaks, "You're staring".
"I'm gazing" I tell him.
"It's creepy" he replies as he opens one eye.
I roll my eyes, "It's romantic". Damon smirks as he opens his eyes and looks at me before grabbing a pillow to hold over his face so I can't look at him, "Hey!" I exclaim and laugh as I take the pillow from him.
Damon rolls on top of me and places his arms on each side of my face, "Hi" he greets me softly as he removes a piece of hair behind my ear.
Smiling up at him I reply just as quiet, "Hi", and then gently he lowers himself as his lips meet mine. The kiss begins slow and gentle before his leg places itself between mine as his hands move to my thighs and pulls me against him even more. My hands wander to the nape of his neck, just where his hair ends, and I tug softly on the strands of his hair which elicits a quiet groan from Damon. Deepening the kiss, I pull Damon closer with my legs and can feel him smile before his lips begin making their way down to my neck. I lean back to give him better access before I moan softly once he finds a sensitive spot. Damon kisses his way back to my lips before pulling back, I smile at him breathless before my eyes fall onto my clock. "Crap!" I exclaim as I realise it's almost ten in the morning.
"What?" Damon mumbles as he goes back to kissing my neck.
"Okay, I, um, I need to be in the shower" I tell him.
Immediately Damon pulls back, "Mmm, love that idea, let's go".
Raising my eyebrows at him I reply, "I don't think so. Just me, I'm late as it is. I'm supposed to help with the decorating for the Lockwood charity thing. Besides, you have to go check on Liz and see how she is".
Damon smirks, "I'm sure she can wait" and then kisses me once more.
"Sorry D, but priorities" I tell him with a shrug.
"And you happen to be my number one" he replies to me.
I laugh before wiggling under his body, "Come on, you need to go and I need to get ready. I'll see you later, okay?".
Damon reluctantly agrees, "Okay" before rolling off of me. Standing up from the bed, I turn around and Damon's right there but thankfully, I've gotten use to this. Damon places his hand on my cheek before leaning in to kiss me gently and when he pulls back, I open my eyes to see he's already left.
•••
As soon as I arrived at the Lockwood Mansion, Carol Lockwood ushered me outside to unbox the candles that would be placed on each of the dining tables. I was currently doing so by myself when I looked up and saw Bonnie a few metres from me. Smiling at her, she notices and begins to walk over to me. "You're here" I greet her.
Bonnie nods, "I'm here".
I notice Bonnie looking around the back yard and inform her, "Caroline's not coming".
"Just making sure" Bonnie replies.
Sighing I tell her, "You know eventually you're gonna have to talk to her".
"Could you make it a little less obvious you're on her side?" Bonnie questions and my eyes widen.
"There are no sides, Bonnie" I reply.
Bonnie rolls her eyes, "Come on! Since Caroline became a vampire, we barely see each other. Losing Caroline was bad enough, I didn't think I'd lose you too".
"You haven't lost Caroline" I tell her softly before sighing, "Come with me".
"Where?" Bonnie asks,
Glancing around I reply, "Not here. Some place quiet. We need to talk" and I hold my hand out which Bonnie takes with little hesitance.
•••
"I can't believe this" is the first thing Bonnie says after I fill her in on everything that's been going on.
Nodding I reply, "I know. Katherine's doing every little thing she can to cause trouble. Elena and Stefan aren't talking because they're pretending to be broken up whilst Caroline's scared and trapped in the middle…".
"And she's already gotten in between you and Damon" Bonnie asks.
I shrug, "And like I said, Damon and I are good now, we talked about it".
"And now you're all smitten" Bonnie replies lightly but I know how she feels about Damon.
"I know you're not Damon's biggest fan but I'm happy" I tell her.
Bonnie nods, "I know, and I'm happy that you're happy, but I mean, it's just, it's Damon".
"He's not as bad as you think" I say and at her narrowed eyes I laugh, "Okay, look I won't pressure you to join team Damon".
Bonnie smiles, "Good" and then she adds, "I can't believe Elena and Stefan are fighting or at least pretending to".
With a shrug, I tell her, "Neither did I but they're way too obvious about it".
"I just hate not knowing" Bonnie replies.
Sighing I reply, "I know Bon, but you made it pretty clear where you stand with the whole vampire thing".
"So that makes me the odd man out" Bonnie says, her tone clipped.
Shaking my head I tell her, "No Bonnie, of course not".
"I know where I stand, Klary. And I know where you stand. But where do we stand?" Bonnie asks me.
"You're my best friend, Bon. I didn't mean to let all this craziness with Damon and Caroline get in the way of that. But, she needs you too" I answer Bonnie.
Bonnie shakes her head, "Not yet, I just, she's a vampire. I can't. I think we should get back" and then she gets up to leave. I sigh before walking back to the mansion.
•••
Later on, I was sorting through masquerade masks when I saw Stefan and Bonnie talking to each other, but then Damon came into view and I smiled, "Hey you, what are you doing here?".
"Mm, hi" he replies as he kisses me on the cheek, "I'm looking for my baby bro. Speaking of, can you tell yours to stop following me around?".
"What's going on?" I ask him confused.
"Jeremy found out that Mason Lockwood was looking for something called a moonstone, it's connected to an Aztec curse which is the reason why werewolves turn on a full moon and vampires can't walk in the sun" Damon informs me.
"So, Mason wants the moonstone in hopes it can lift the curse?" I ask him as I piece the information together.
"I think so, and your brother knows where it is and he said he'd get it for us" Damon replies and I shake my head.
"Jeremy cannot get involved with all of this, Damon!" I exclaim.
Damon holds his hands up in defence, "He was the one who came to me, look I need to go to Stefan. We'll talk later" and then kisses my cheek before leaving.
As he leaves, Jeremy arrives. "Why are you getting involved with Damon?" I ask him immediately.
"Why do you care?" he asks me, "I thought you liked Damon".
"That's beside the point, Jer it's dangerous. We've been over this" I tell him.
"You and Elena really need to stop, I get that you care, I do. But I'm fine, I can handle myself" Jeremy replies.
I sigh, "I just don't want you to get hurt".
Jeremy places his hand on my shoulder, "And I won't, the second I know I'm in serious danger I'll back out, okay?".
At this peace of mind, I nod, "Okay, but you have to promise me that if this gets too messy you won't be involved anymore?".
Jeremy places his hand over his heart, "Promise" and then he walks inside the house.
When I look back to Damon and Stefan, I notice they're walking away with Bonnie in their grasp. Immediately I forget what I'm doing and rushing towards them, "What's going on?" I ask as I catch up to them, mildly out of breath.
"I need a favour" Damon asks, pointed at Bonnie.
"Like that's gonna happen" Bonnie replies in disbelief.
"So predictable" Damon mutters before looking at Stefan, "That's why I brought him".
Stefan nods, "I know how you feel about helping us out but since you're the one that linked Mason with Katherine, we finally have an opportunity to get the upper hand on both of them so, just hear us out".
"Pretty please" Damon adds.
"Wait, Mason is with Katherine?" I but in and the three of them look at me, "Since when?".
"Since they both conveniently arrived in town at the same time, oh and your witchy friend saw a vision of them making out" Damon informs me.
I make a face of disgust before replying, "Actually it kind of makes sense, I mean Mason knew too much from the beginning, there was no way he could've found it out all on his own".
Bonnie looks at me and then to Damon, "Alright. I'm listening".
"I need to fill Elena in on what's going on" Stefan says to us as he takes out his phone, looking at Damon he questions, "Can you play nice, please?".
Damon shrugs, "I guess" and then Stefan walks away. Turning back to Bonnie, Damon tells her, "All you have to do is touch Mason Lockwood again and see if he gave Katherine the moonstone".
Bonnie shakes her head, "My visions don't work like that. I don't get to ask questions".
Damon sighs annoyed, "How inconvenient. Although let's talk about that little witchy juju thing you do with me. You know, the fun one where my brain bursts into flames? What is that?".
"That's me giving you an aneurysm. Your blood vessels go pop, but you heal quickly, so I do it over and over again" Bonnie replies with a slight smirk.
"Is it vampire specific?" Damon asks.
Bonnie shrugs, "It'd work on anyone with a supernatural healing ability".
Damon nods, "Good, good, good".
"Damon, I'm not gonna help you hurt him" Bonnie tells him.
Damon rolls his eyes, "Mason Lockwood's a vampire, Katherine's evil. They're the bad guys. Really? You're gonna play morality police with me right now? Let me put it to you another way, they're a threat to Klary and Elena. So you, witch, are gonna get over yourself and help us".
"Yeah, he meant that as a question" Stefan says as he walks back over to us.
Bonnie looks at me and I add, "With a please on the end".
Damon nods, "Absolutely".
•••
Bonnie took her position for the plan which was pretending to get a table off the back of a truck in hopes Mason would see and walk over, which luckily enough, he did. As soon as Bonnie performs her spell, we hauled Mason into his own jeep before heading over to the Boarding House. I went with them so that Bonnie at least had someone she didn't dislike with her and once we ended up at the Boarding House, Damon placed Mason into a chair whilst Bonnie grabbed Mason's bag.
"Here's his bag. As requested" Bonnie says as she drops it on another chair.
"Okay, you two, grab the corners" Damon instructs us as I notice he removed the carpet and replaced it with tarp.
"Why are we doing this?" Bonnie asks.
"Because I don't want to stain the carpet" is Damon's response and I can't help but roll my eyes.
"I knew you were gonna say something like that" Bonnie replies.
Damon shrugs, "Judging again" and then he walks over to Mason's bag where he pulls out chains, "Woah, looks like this guy's used to being tied up".
Bonnie then walks over and takes Mason's head in her hands, "What are you doing?" I ask her.
"Damon's looking for a moonstone. I'm trying to help find it" she replies as she concentrates.
Damon nods "Oh good. Find out if he gave it to Katherine and find out where she is. And find out what they're gonna do with it once they get it".
As Damon ties Mason down on the chair, I awkwardly stand and Bonnie continues to concentrate, "Somewhere small, dark. There's water" Bonnie says out loud.
"Like a sewer?" Damon asks.
Bonnie shakes her head, "No, like a well. That can't be right. Wait, yeah it's a well".
"Why would it be in a well?" I ask and Bonnie shrugs.
"That's all I can get" Bonnie tells us as she lets go off Mason when suddenly Mason wakes up and grabs Bonnie's hands. Damon immediately takes Mason's hands off of her and Bonnie steps away quickly as Mason falls unconscious again. "That's it, that's all I got" Bonnie tells us before walking out of the room.
"Hey, judgey!" Damon calls out and Bonnie turns around, "Thank you" he adds and I can't help but feel proud.
"Bon, I'll meet you outside, yeah?" I tell her and she nods before leaving. Turning to Damon I ask, "Are you going to be all right here?".
Damon walks over to me and places his hands on the side of my face, "Yes" he answers.
"What's your plan?" I ask him.
"You're not gonna like it, so I'm not gonna tell you" he replies and I narrow my eyes.
"Seriously, what are you planning on doing to him?" I ask him with more edge to my tone.
"If you must know, I plan on torturing him and then depending on how that goes, killing him" Damon says and my eyes widen.
"Damon, you can't be serious" I say to him.
"You remember our talk last night? What I said?" Damon asks me and I nod, "I will do whatever it takes for you to be safe, you'll always come first, okay?".
"Promise me you'll try your hardest not too?" I question him and at Damon's unconvincing nod I sigh.
"I'll see you later" Damon says before leaning down and kissing me gently. Once he pulls away I nod, frustrated with the whole situation. As much as I hate it, I do understand Damon's point. Mason is a werewolf which is potentially dangerous to him and Stefan, plus he's with Katherine so he can't be trusted. Shaking my head, I turn and walk over to meet Bonnie who is at the front door with Caroline.
"Did you find the moonstone thing?" Caroline asks her.
Bonnie shakes her head, "Not yet, hey, do you remember that old well where we used to play when we were kids?".
"Yeah" Caroline nods.
"It's in the woods, do you remember where?" Bonnie asks her.
"On the edge of the old Lockwood property why?" Caroline replies.
Bonnie pulls out her phone and starts to message someone, "I think that's where Mason is keeping the moonstone. I got to go".
"Well I can come with you" Caroline adds with hope.
"No, it's okay" Bonnie tells her but when she looks at me, she sees my judgemental expression and sighs, "Sure" she adds and looks back at Caroline.
"Okay" Caroline replies and smiles before the three of us walk out of the house.
•••
Bonnie, Caroline, and I rushed to the well near the old Lockwood property when we heard Elena yell out for Stefan. "Caroline, go, we'll catch up" I say and Caroline nods before speeding off. Turning to Bonnie I tell, "Come on" and the two of us begin running in the direction Caroline did. When we make it to where they are, Elena had a chain wrapped around her and was making her way down the well.
"I got you, okay?" Caroline says to my sister.
Elena nods, "Yeah".
"Are you ready?" Caroline asks and Elena nods. Slowly, Caroline lowers her down into the well when all of a sudden she loses grip but grabs it back just as fast. "Sorry!" Caroline exclaims.
"It's okay, keep going. Come on!" Elena shouts back.
After a minute, I yell down the well "Elena, what's going on down there?".
"Pull him up!" is all she yells back and Caroline pulls the chain back up with Stefan at the end of it.
As Stefan comes back up, Caroline places him on the ground before turning back, "Elena? Ready for you!".
"Hold on! I need to find the stone" Elena calls back.
"Hurry!" Caroline replies.
"Hold on, I think I found it!" Elena yells back and then a few seconds later I hear her scream.
Immediately I run to the well and place my hands on the stone, "Elena? Are you okay? What's going?".
"I got it, come on! Bring me up!" Elena exclaims and then Caroline immediately pulls her up. Once Elena gets out of the well she runs to Stefan, "Oh god, Stefan". Elena makes way for a rock and uses it to cut her hand, Caroline turns away and Elena places her wrist to Stefan's mouth and once he opens his eyes, he drinks from her. "I've got the stone, Stefan. Stefan, it's going to be okay, everything's gonna be okay" she comforts him and I feel myself sigh in relief.
•••
Elena and I headed home after what happened earlier. "Where's Jeremy?" I ask as we walk into the kitchen.
"Oh, he went straight up to his room. He said he wasn't hungry" Alaric replies and I nod.
"Who is she talking to?" I ask in regards to Jenna who was on the phone.
Alaric shrugs, "I don't know, did everything go okay today?".
Elena nods, "There were a few hiccups, but yeah".
"Of course, I understand" we hear Jenna say before she turns around to us, "Elena it's for you".
Taking the phone Elena asks "Who is it?" but Jenna just shrugs, "Hello?". Immediately Elena's expression changes to worry, "Katherine" she greets and immediately I walk over to her. Elena holds the phone out so we can both hear.
"Did you enjoy your little rendezvous with Stefan this morning? I will always know, Elena. I will always be one step ahead of you. When are you gonna figure that out? Do you know how easy it was to get inside of your house? To replace Aunt Jenna's vervain perfume, to convince her to stop drinking her special tea?" Katherine asks, her voice strangely sweet.
"No" Elena replies as we look at Alaric who looks confused.
"Jenna's been my little spy for days now. But unlike you, Jenna actually listens to me. So when I suggested that the world would be a much better place if she were to just…" Katherine trails off.
Elena and I look at Jenna who holds a knife in the air and points it at her stomach, "Jenna, No!" I yell before Jenna stabs herself in the stomach and falls to the floor. Elena drops the phone as we rush over to her.
"Jenna! Jenna!" Alaric exclaims worried before he pulls out his cell phone and rings for an ambulance. Elena grabs my hand as we both have tears in our eyes before looking back over to Jenna, who looks closer to death with each passing second.
•••
We were at the hospital, Jenna was in the recovery room whilst Elena and I waited for Jeremy to show up. "Is she okay?" our brother asks once he finds his way to us.
I nod, "The doctors told Alaric that she got lucky and she's gonna make it. She's gonna be okay".
"Does she remember what happened?" Jeremy asks.
"No, nothing. It's all a part of Katherine's compulsion" Elena tells him.
Jeremy looks confused, "Why would Katherine hurt Jenna?".
"Because she's trying to send a message, that she could get to anybody" Elena says before she starts to cry. Immediately, Jeremy and I hug our sister.
"Hey, hey, it's gonna be okay" Jeremy mumbles.
"No it's not" Elena replies with her voice breaking.
As the three of us embrace, all Jeremy says is "She's gonna pay. I don't know how, but she's gonna pay".
•••
After the hospital, I drove Elena and myself over to the Boarding House. Elena made up her mind to break up with Stefan for good, and I tried my best to convince her otherwise but all she kept saying was that it had to be over. Sighing, I follow behind Elena into the house but I wait in the living room, whilst she goes upstairs. "Klary" I hear behind me, "Are you okay?".
Immediately I shake my head no as tears begin to form, Damon rushes over and embraces me. "She hurt Jenna, Katherine tried to kill her. I can't, Damon, what if she goes after Jeremy next? What does she want? Why is she going this?" I cry into his shirt.
Damon comforts me by running his fingers softly through my hair, "I'm so sorry, Angel". Pulling away, I'm about to say something before I hear Elena running down the stairs. I run over to her, with Damon behind me as he calls out for her. "Elena, I riled Katherine up. I wasn't thinking, I didn't think" he says to her but Elena shakes her head.
"It doesn't matter. She won. Katherine won" Elena tells him before running out the door.
Turning to Damon with tears in my eyes, "You killed Mason? Didn't you? That's why she did this".
Guiltily, Damon nods, "I'm so sorry, I didn't realise she would go this far".
I tell him, "It's Katherine. What did you expect was going to happen?" and as Damon steps closer to me I shake my head, "I'm sorry, I can't right now. Elena needs me, and I need to go". With one last glance towards Damon, I turn around and follow my sister.
A/N - Bloody Katherine, trying to steal Elena's man and all that. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, next up we have the masquerade ball so that should be interesting and in a few chapters, we will have a Katherine and Klary chat where all will be revealed, so look forward to that! Thank you for reading xx
